Video Friday: Clean-Up

Kenny and I have recently been encouraging Riley to clean up his toys before going upstairs for bath and bed; otherwise, our living room perpetually looks like this:

As long as someone is helping him do it, Riley cooperates fairly well with cleaning up. However, I do confess that on some nights I just don’t have the energy to deal with the mess, and it becomes much easier just to leave it. After all, he makes the same mess again almost as soon as he gets up the next morning.

But Kenny has taken the lead on the clean-up process lately, and he, of course, tries to make it like a game so it’s more enjoyable. On this particular night, Riley was “crashing” his toys into his two storage cubes and having a grand time.

It may take a little longer this way, but it accomplishes the task and lets the boy have a little extra fun before night-night time.
